Is it possible to link out to something here? Otherwise these terms aren't very meaningful to most people.

Sure, linked https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/backend_template_api.html#matplotlib.backends.backend_template.new_figure_manager which I think is the best for now.
- Don't suggest using backends for customization (it's quite heavy handed anyways, and we may soon have figure hooks to simplify that). - Replace tight_layout/constrained_layout by layout engines (none of the kwargs appear explicitly in the signature, but because figure() is such a central entry point, it seems reasonable to be a bit more wordy in the descriptions).
